Daily Bread with David

  The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have  it  more abundantly. - John 10:10 John 10:10 gives us a very clear idea of the agenda of the Kingdom of God vs. the Kingdom of the enemy.  We can assume from reading about the agenda of the thief ( enemy ) that the agenda of God would be directly opposite.  Lets take each action and compare the agenda of both. Thief's Agenda Steal Kill Destroy God's Agenda Give Live (or give life) Create We have to realize that there is a measure of good and evil in the world, and that God's judgement is the measurement by which everyone will be judged.  Now lets look at some real world issues and see how God's word and agenda line up with current social issues. Steal vs Give- The enemy is out to steal from you and your family.  If you there is anything good that you possess, the enemy is out to steal it out from under you.  Joy, pe...

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.  Ephesians 3:20 I believe that sometimes we make the mistake as Christians thinking that God has to show up or feel a certain way so we can stay comfortable.  In essence, we like to have our "God box".  This is the place where we put God and let him stay there.  This is where we feel very comfortable with God, and even feel safe about what God should feel like, look like, or act like.   We typically base our God box off past experiences with church, or past experiences in our life.  We then take that box and we become cynical for anything new that God is trying to do in our life, or any new movement of God.  Last week I attended a service at the Roads church, and one of the main concepts of the ministry of the service was focused on a spiritual, physical, mental deliverance of the believer.  The deliver...

  As this nation is now so currently divided, I have seen the common phrase in the news and speeches of "United We Stand".   As this nation is now so currently divided, I have seen the common phrase in the news and speeches of "United We Stand".  This phrase gave me the thought… What are WE really UNITED in and what are WE STANDING on? To be united as a people means that we must share some common morals, ideals, standards, ways of thinking...etc.  I believe this is where we have hit a snag in the road as a nation.  To truly be united we as a nation must have an agreed upon standard of morals, ideas, and standards. If two people disagree over what is right or wrong, they do not stand united, but stand very divided on that issue. We as a nation will never be united if man’s opinion determines which morals and ideas to live by as the correct truth. As a country, we need to look to a higher being for our moral standards, and we must agree upon and obey the...
